Abortion - could I possibly be pregnant again?


Expert: Vanessa - 11/22/2008

Question
QUESTION: hi, I had a medical abortion done on Sept. 20th, I had gotten my period on Oct. 16th, had unprotected sex on Oct. 18th, then I got my period on nov. 7th it went away on nov 14, then i got flu like sympotms, for 3 days, now i feel really bloated, is it possible i might be pregnant again? Im not sure when im suppose to get my period again.

ANSWER: Hi Keri

From the dates you gave me you had your period after you had unsafe sex so I would say you are not pregnant. If though after your last period you had unsafe sex you could be pregnant but it would be to early to be having symptoms as your next period would not be due until early december.

It is common to be bloated after an abortion sometimes for quite awhile so it could be that.

I will say that after an abortion women are more fertile so if you don't want a baby would suggest going on the pill or using condoms.

Hope this helped, take care, vanessa :-)

QUESTION: How do i get rid of the bloating its driving me nuts?! I tried gas x and that didnt work. Thanks for your help

Answer
I seriously dont think there is a way to get rid of it really, you just have to wait it out, I know it is a pain and I wish I could tell you some magical solution but I havent come across anything that works yet. Good luck and hope the bloating goes away soon for you! :-)
